"...ho trovato un lavoro che si concentra soprattutto sul raccontare con grande affetto e lucidità una persona e un periodo storico che, per chi ha prodotto il podcast e per un numero sorprendente di persone...il podcast si conclude con una doverosa coda sulle teorie più o meno assurde che circondano la morte di Peter...Tanto e ben visibile. C’è tutto un pazzo mondo in cui vorrete perdervi. //// ...I found a job that focuses above all on telling with great affection and lucidity a person and a historical period that, for those who produced the podcast and for a surprising number of people...the podcast ends with a dutiful coda on the more or less absurd theories surrounding Peter's death...There is love. So much is clearly visible. There's a whole crazy world you'll want to get lost in."
